ACE HOT METAL HAND MOLDING SYSTEM

Ace Hand Molds can be used for casting
lead, bismuth, tin and oven or air dried plastics.

Ace molds are made out of carbon and rubber and other proprietary materials. They range from 3 to 12 in length in one inch increments. The price is $24 for a 3 and increases $5 per inch up to 12 @ $69.

The molds are 2 1/4, 2 1/2 and 3 wide and 1 thick. The Molds split in half lengthwise, exposing the castings, which can be dumped or picked out. The mold halves have self aligning cones for foolproof alignment. Hot metal, (500° to 1000°) is poured with a bottom pour pot or ladled in from a molten metal container. The sprues or gates, where the hot metal was poured into the mold, can be trimmed off with a diagonal cutter, (flush cut is the best).

The Mold is held in place with a wood clamp made with two 14 wood arms and a hinge. The clamp pressure is adjustable made possible by a screw and slots on the end of the clamp arms. The clamp fits all molds so only one clamp is necessary. Clamp cost $10.

Ace molds are very forgiving. For example, Metal molds are preset to use exact inserts, (hooks, wires, rings, etc.). The metal mold has to be held tightly up against the bottom pour spout of the pot to get the extra pressure to fill the cavity. This results in a hot metal spit on the hand and arm. The hot metal is poured into the Ace Mold from above the gate and doesnt spit on your hand. Although the molds are made for certain inserts, practically any hook or wire that will fit across the cavity can be used. Metal molds are limited to 1 to 8 cavities.

Ace molds are limited from 1 to 60 cavities according to the size of the mold. Aluminum molds solidify in 1 1/2 to 3 seconds. Ace molds from 2 to 4 seconds. Ace molds are limited from 1/32 oz, to 1 oz.. The big stuff belongs to the metal molds.
